After the presentation of our CPU500x processor in 2015, we bring you the next step of innovation: Lucrasoft's 64-cell memory chip with integrated controller and byte-per-cell capacity.
Our custom-designed controller can support 2 threads simultaneously. Due to the 2D structured layout of our cells (8x8 cells in our default configuration) we plan to support even bigger chips as well. Research Department is looking into a 12x12 and 16x16 structures.
You can find the details and specifications of our memory chip here, as well as the communication protocol between your code and the memory controller.
In this competition your code/thread must compete with another thread to gain the complete capacity of the memory!
Both threads start with the ownership of a single cell. By smart planning of your instructions to the controller, your thread must get full ownership of all the cells. You can witness a battle of threads at our web demo.
Other competitions exists as well. Competition details
